Ep1- Leaving a life on land and setting sail as a liveaboard.

Beautiful boat and lovely scenery, engaging hosts, well written script and polished narration, excellent editing and sound balance. And ... lovely sailing too! What’s not to love about this? :)

[@blairguinea1337]

Wow wow, 1 year late to the day, loved your narrative guys, just sensational..........and loved the seasides haunt back in Britain, have been there for 30 yrs so you bring back the memories. Great pics, great scenery, what can i say, thumbs up and subscribed

[@jsr1253]

Great to see you setting off for Plymouth. Gosport is an interesting stop not least, as you recognise, because of the naval interest: the history and the present. The boat you identify as HMS Victory in Portsmouth is in fact HMS Warrior. HMS Victory is further along. Warrior is 100 years younger than Victory and was the most powerful naval vessel of its day. Good luck!

Very professional high quality production, and agree it could be a tv show. Thanks for sharing your travels on you tube, great video and advice for us newer sailors.

[@christrinder1255]

I live in Poole Dorset, and bought and lived for 3 years in Turkey as a live aboard on a 38ft motor sailor and enjoyed every moment in the 1980’s( before the possibility of making money on uTube from videos!) It was a great time , eventually we ran out of money and had to return to terra ferma but it was a great time and I don’t have to look back now wishing it was something I’d done and never did !!! Have subscribed and am looking forward to all your videos! Good luck with your venture and I wish you a long happy life as live aboards!

[@svfairisle]

Thanks Chris, not sure that we'll make it to Turkey next year, but we must make sure we get there before we leave the Med.

[@genevievemay3461]

Great first video. Look forward to seeing more. We sailed Plymouth to Lagos via Bayona with ARC Portugal in 2007 (it was called Rally Portugal then) on our first boat, Cheroon. We too were nervous. Even if you don’t normally get seasick, take a Stugeron tonight and another in the morning. The guy we took with us as a “professional delivery skipper” went off sick at Edystone and didn’t reappear until we were past Finistare! Good luck with Biscay. You’ve got a great sea worthy boat. Have faith in her and you’ll be fine.

[@judyaslett2]

Thank you. I took plenty of Stugeron and that made all the difference. It was fun even when the waves got very big. None of us made it to Bayona in the first run because of the storm. We are in Coruna at the moment listening to the wind howling. Really. We detoured yesterday afternoon and arrived this morning. We may leave tomorrow but not sure. Judy

[@TheOtherSideoftheHill]

Through this crazy time in our lives I found your channel. I am currently setting my 5 year ready plan for sailing. Keel Boating class next month. The plan is to mono during the 5 years developing my skills. We live on Florida’s Gulf Coast and realize how fortunate we are. While enjoying your content my focus is camera placement, editing, framing well I’m going to school. I studied production at a University. ☹️ family business didn’t call for much of my skills until the wide use of the internet. Channel building on KZbin is my next endeavor so school away. BTW love your ORGANIZED playlist

[@nicolesummers4495]

Thank you for sharing, fabulous adventure

[@crikycrocky]

Very well done, nicely put together episode. It brought back memories of when I did virtually the same trip from Brighton in 97. Recommend setting a stern anchor to hold the bow into the swell, you will get less rocking and a better night for sleeping.

[@svfairisle]

Yes I do get the kedge anchor out for that sometimes. I find with a full keel I can drag it on the change of tide though so don't tend to bother on tidal coasts. Should have done it in Ep 8 though, but he swell didnt come until after dark.

@@mytinyretirement When we get some good connection we're going to watch some more of your house in the woods. We went even smaller with our retirement!, but a sailboat means you have the whole world I guess. Do let us know what you think of the style of the videos, we haven't really cracked the American audience, we seem to be more appealing to this side of the pond for some reason.

Thanks the channel is still a work in progress, but the great thing about internet base films rather than broadcast is you can get instant feedback, so thanks. The struggle we're having is do we go through details of sailing and risk sounding condescending to experienced sailors or leave that out and upset the guys that haven't sailed but want to some day?

Going to Portugal sounds like a fantastic plan. You enjoy the sun, the food and the amazing Portuguese people while I stay here in London.

My goodness Judy, never thought you’d end up on a sailing boat. Well, my boat is at Trizonia, near Patras but because I’ve just bought a cottage near Varna, Bulgaria I’m snugged down, and locked down with snow outside. I came down the Danube with me boat after retiring from teaching in Germany with the intention of sailing on and on but the chance of this cute little house sprung up, so here I am. Have not forgotten you, so drop me a line. Stephen Lediard.

[@eddieb7173]

Really fantastic videos - like others stumbled across your channel and glad I did! Especially liked your back & fill technical video - I’ve never known what that particular manoeuvre was called but sort of discovered it by accident! The other top tip for long-keelers I’ve found helpful is to steer in reverse using your bow, forget the rudder... of course a thruster helps but otherwise point the nose in blasts of ahead and then go back, repeat until tied up! Sounds easy in theory... we all know boats do what they like in reality. Looking forward to watching all the others and tracking your progress. Fair Isle is a very beautiful boat and looks heavy and well built. She’ll look after you I’m sure. Best wishes!

[@svfairisle]

Thanks Ed. and yes forgetting about your rudder in reverse is a good idea!
